    Go to the bottom of pg. 61, and the top of pg. 62.

    Since the required procedure would not happen in a matter of seconds, after your passing, you might be better off with a trust or partnership, or just not employ an NFA goodie for home defense purposes.

    IANAL.

    Yeah, I figured. I appreciate you looking that up. But please don't stop me from applying reason and rational to a scenario that has neither! So, my wife can't defend herself and my family, because of a tax stamp. Makes perfect sense...
    Honey, sell my guns for what they're worth and not what I told you I paid for them.

    What kind of NFA item are we talking about? A SBR? A suppressor? A $50,000-to $100,000 Thompson or Browning MG?

    If your wife justifiably shoots an intruder with a SBR or suppressor you will probably not even hear about it. If she shoots someone with a legally owned machine gun (which you always have sittin on your nightstand) expect to make national news (then a civil trial for the poor "youth" you shot) then Kiss Your MG goodbye.

    Teach her to use a 12 ga pump shotgun. It will be more effective anyway.

    Yes, have her open the window and fire off two blasts

    I'm talking about a suppressor and I agree. Though her use would break the law, dragging a mother and her children into to court to prosecute is unlikely. Of course, depending on the DA, anything is possible.

    Actually, we have a 20 gauge in the room as well. I like the lighter recoil, muzzle flash, etc. and it should cover the doorway just fine.

    So, no machine gun, but a grenade might be a nice touch...

    I was talking indoor home defense distance. You get hit with a 12 ga (with any size shot) at 20 feet and you will have a very bad day. I would rather be hit with numerous pistol rounds. Its hard for the doctors to sew hamburger back together.

    Yeah, seriously. Don't even consider whipping out your MAC-11 in self defense - even the semi versions. You don't want to be that guy that the ever-increasingly left-leaning judiciary is waiting to chew up and spit out to our leftist media to dine on.
    You will be more demonized than a baby-murderer.
    All of my guns are lubed with BACON GREASE.

    Even better, a suppressed shotgun! I’ve got an FNX 45 tactical with an Osprey 45K near my bed. If my wife needs to use it on someone breaking in, when I’m at work, so be it. I’d rather deal with things with her still alive than not.
